Description
Historically used by Native Americans to promote skin health and as part of their spiritual healing and cleansing practices. A powerful wood essential oil, Black Spruce oil is distilled from the needles and branches of the Picea Mariana tree. Black Spruce essential oil is high in bornyl acetate, a chemical component that promotes relaxation and calmness.
